Ryan Reynolds recently addressed the speculation surrounding Taylor Swift’s potential involvement in Deadpool 3. The film has sparked rumors about who might make a cameo appearance, similar to that of Brad Pitt’s brief moment in Deadpool 2. Names like Jennifer Garner, Liev Schreiber, Ben Affleck, and Halle Berry have been discussed, but it’s Taylor Swift, tied to the role of Dazzler, that has caused the most buzz.
In an interview with the Vancouver Sun, Reynolds acknowledged the rumors and expressed his enjoyment of the gossip, saying it’s a sign of how eager people are to get a peek behind the curtain in this world. He said, “Every single one of these secrets and spoilers will be revealed on July 26.”
Director Shawn Levy also chose not to definitively confirm or deny the rumors. He stated that some internet rumors are completely false, but some of them aren’t.
Deadpool 3 will have Wolverine and Deadpool go on a multiverse road trip to transition from the Fox X-Men universe to the MCU. Levy noted that he and Reynolds wanted to maintain the franchise’s DNA while pushing for evolution in this third installment. Deadpool 3 was originally set for release on May 3, 2024, but Disney announced a new domestic box office date of July 26, 2024. In response to this change, Reynolds posted on social media, “Very F—ing clever.” and Jackman responded with, “Release dates work in mysterious ways.”
